Amen if you look at your less if you look at the enter direction 14 00:01:05,39 --> 00:01:09,43 . I'm going to go ahead and read that in adduction what I want to do is we're going 15 00:01:09,44 --> 00:01:13,05 to take the concept of the Cross there but thinks of the cross and they could budge 16 00:01:13,06 --> 00:01:17,08 is what he did and they think about salvation right that's what we normally think 17 00:01:17,09 --> 00:01:20,71 of salvation eternal life all those kind of things but we're going to see that 18 00:01:21,05 --> 00:01:26,78 Jesus did much more than purchase salvation force most Christians are living with 19 00:01:26,79 --> 00:01:31,25 the idea someday I'll be in heaven all this problem is going to go away and yet God 20 00:01:31,26 --> 00:01:34,67 wants his live in victory well run earth he wants us to be healed 21 00:01:34,71 --> 00:01:38,20 a day not just in the future so introduction if 22 00:01:38,21 --> 00:01:42,43 a person wants to move beyond the past they must truly grasp the significance what 23 00:01:42,44 --> 00:01:46,64 Jesus accomplished by his death on the cross sometimes we all have heard the story 24 00:01:46,65 --> 00:01:51,22 of the crucifixion so often we fail to realize what actually took place when the 25 00:01:51,23 --> 00:01:54,93 Holy Spirit Villes to us the depth of Jesus' sufferings on the cross and the 26 00:01:54,94 --> 00:01:59,01 spiritual significance of his death we experience freedom from what has occurred in 27 00:01:59,02 --> 00:02:00,78 our past and be able to live 28 00:02:00,79 --> 00:02:06,13 a life of victory the past will not have them flaunts honest like it has maybe most 29 00:02:06,14 --> 00:02:09,16 of our life. So if you just take 30 00:02:09,17 --> 00:02:13,95 a general concept of all that Jesus went through you before he goes to the cross 31 00:02:13,96 --> 00:02:18,90 these goes to trial before he goes to trial there's experiences having before those 32 00:02:18,91 --> 00:02:24,21 experience happened he's in the garden agonizing So you see all of that you look at 33 00:02:24,22 --> 00:02:28,67 that concept in this look at that concept in this look at it not for eternal life 34 00:02:29,13 --> 00:02:32,62 that is certainly is the case but just look at it when it comes to walking in 35 00:02:32,63 --> 00:02:37,25 victory in our life. Roman numeral one says Mark's account across vividly 36 00:02:37,26 --> 00:02:42,82 emphasizes crisis agonizing suffering and death so I am going to go ahead and I'm 37 00:02:42,83 --> 00:02:47,11 actually going to take the time to read through it as long as it is I want to read 38 00:02:47,12 --> 00:02:52,70 through it because I want to get the concept of the story and it says and straight 39 00:02:52,71 --> 00:02:54,42 away in the morning the chief priest held 40 00:02:54,43 --> 00:02:58,74 a consultation with the elders and scribes in the whole council imbalance Jesus in 41 00:02:58,75 --> 00:03:03,53 carried him away into their name to pilot and pilot asked him Are you the king of 42 00:03:03,54 --> 00:03:06,25 the Jews and Jesus answered saying that I'll say 43 00:03:06,26 --> 00:03:11,20 a Stitt and the chief priest accused him of many things but he answered nothing and 44 00:03:11,21 --> 00:03:16,03 Piet asked him again saying answer nothing behold how many things have they witness 45 00:03:16,04 --> 00:03:21,86 is spoken against the but Jesus did answer nothing so the pilot marveled at it now 46 00:03:21,87 --> 00:03:26,33 at that feast he released into them one prisoner whoever they desired and there was 47 00:03:26,34 --> 00:03:31,21 a one man named barabus which they bound up with them and they brought us them in 48 00:03:31,22 --> 00:03:35,96 an insurrection and he had committed murder in the insurrection and the multitude 49 00:03:35,97 --> 00:03:40,41 crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done and to them an answer 50 00:03:40,42 --> 00:03:45,40 said to him Will you release this man instead the king of the Jews for he knew that 51 00:03:45,41 --> 00:03:50,27 the chief priest to deliver Jesus out of envy but the cheese prefer chief priest 52 00:03:50,28 --> 00:03:55,35 moved the people that they should rather release barabus until them and to them and 53 00:03:56,07 --> 00:03:59,41 said again to them what will you then that I should do and to Him Who is the king 54 00:03:59,42 --> 00:04:04,16 of the Jews and they create out again crucify him then posted them why would they 55 00:04:04,20 --> 00:04:08,20 have evil done like this and they cried out more it's in the crucify him to stop 56 00:04:08,21 --> 00:04:09,37 right there there's 57 00:04:09,38 --> 00:04:14,26 a guy named rabbits because insurrection he's going against the good Caesar is what 58 00:04:14,27 --> 00:04:14,98 he's doing it does is 59 00:04:14,99 --> 00:04:20,17 a reaction and he commits murder and Braben pilot saying you've got barabus or 60 00:04:20,18 --> 00:04:23,45 you've got Jesus which one do you want to be crucified which one do you want to 61 00:04:23,46 --> 00:04:30,08 really be released the people want to be released.
